This house is very quaint, lots of room and great location! It's an old house, so old house quirks (lighting and electric outlet limitations) are to be expected. We had some issues with our check in date, but the owner was responsive and reimbursed for the night we could not access the house. Would stay there again.

House was great for our large group. Parking was a challenge. House was clean and worked out great for our visit.

We knew we were booking an old house and did not expect it to be perfect. This house, however, was beyond imperfect. The photos in the listing do NOT represent the actual state of this house. We arrived to find the driveway filled with garbage bags (8-10) and cans overflowing with more garbage and boxes. The host removed the bags the next day, but the cans remained blocking the front brick walkway, which was overgrown with weeds anyway and not navigable. One of the two porch lights is missing, and the nice-looking outer door in the photos was off its hinges and thrown aside onto the patio area, which was also strewn with odd junk. The patio table was there, but some chairs were broken and cushions missing. The garden area had a junky table and the whole thing was overgrown, so we spent no time there. Inside, the carpets are all stained, and the wood floors have holes in some spots. The kitchen is tired - I could share a long list but I'll just say that the silverware drawer was filthy, with bits of food inside. There was only a used worn-out sponge and no dishwasher pods. The host's mail and some empty boxes were scattered in the diningroom, along with a highchair and a broken standing lamp. Some other lamps in the bedrooms were broken as well. Before our family group arrived, my husband and I raced around to make the place more presentable. On the third floor, the bathroom and bedroom doors do not close. I could say more, but I'm out of characters. Renter beware!

The house was good and sizable for our requirements. The location was ideally located. A few notes to be aware of: The driveway is VERY narrow and must be approached directly, not from the side. It may damage your car if you aren’t aware of that. The back area and view are nice but it is quite a drop off for dogs who are used to a bigger space. We visited in August and the AC struggled to keep up.

We rented the house to bring our granddaughter to her 98 year old grandmother, for a family Thanksgiving and it turned out to be a great choice. Very comfortable for the 5 of us staying there. The furnishings suit the house perfectly. We especially appreciated the crib, the booster seat; we didn’t expect so many children’s toy, a nice surprise. Negatives were parking and higher than expected level of street noise in 2 of the bedrooms. Overall, however, a very good experience.

Perfect location to visit our student at Pitt. House had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. House was huge. Lots of rooms and space. Driveway is narrow but we were fine with that, just be aware of it.

Really nice spot close to Pitt, Shadyside and Squirrel Hill. Home was a great place for our summer family get together.

6.0 / 10.0

We came with a group of 6 friends. The house is well located near Pitt and Carnegie Melon. The house is spacious with 4 usable bedrooms for adults. The furniture is older and one of the beds was very mushy. The AC wasn’t great. We had to crank the AC to cool the 2nd Fl, so the first floor got quite cool while it was not so cool on the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor only has a portable AC unit in the Bedroom and it marginally cools. The PM was generally responsive and came to fix some things when we asked. It’s a fine place to stay when visiting Pittsburgh.

Have had the opportunity to rent various places over our 4 years visiting Pitt. I rank this one of the best we've had. The location was ideal for getting to campus and graduation. Space in house is perfect for catching up with everyone and all the comforts. Easy check in great communication with host. Highly Recc
